Which gate are you on course to enter?
“Enter through the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and spacious and broad is the way that leads away to destruction, and many are those who are entering through it.[14] But the gate is narrow (contracted by pressure) and the way is straitened and compressed that leads away to life, and few are those who find it.”
The highway to hell is broad and its gate is wide for those who may choose that way. The gate to the kingdom of God is narrow. Most people are going through the wide gate to hell because it’s an easier lifestyle. The lifestyle of discipline Leeds us through the narrow gate to the kingdom of God. There’s no getting around the fact to enter the narrow gate to heaven it takes sacrifice on our part. The sacrifice is simply you trying to be a better person God’s way. You don’t give up stuff good for you but you lose stuff that’s not. Our bodies still have the sin nature in them. At the new birth when we became Christians the only thing about our makeup that changed was our human spirits. Our spirits were dead to God which keeps us out of the kingdom of God. After the change of our human spirits it’s our job to renew our minds with God’s word, and begin to live it. Choosing this way of life is only a sacrifice to our bodies and the part of your mind that has not renewed itself with God’s word of life. The choice is simple, the easy way to hell, wide gate, or the disciplined cleaner life through the straight and narrow one. Free will can be our demise if we choose wrongly.
